Your Health Your Wealth

Once upon a time, there lived a man called ‘Ignorance’, who in search of wealth did not pay attention or take care of his health. He believed with wealth, he can have everything and so continually ignores his health.

After a while, the universe smiled on 'Ignorance' and he found real riches but unfortunately for him, health had walked away. He tried to enjoy his new found wealth but it was difficult without health.

Friends, family and other people around ‘Ignorance’ who had taken care of their health enjoyed Ignorance’s wealth while he wallowed in “thou must not eat this” “thou must not do that” because of one disease or another. Then he discovered without health you can't enjoy wealth.

He had to get health, but health is very expensive to find once lost. It takes a lot of money and time.

'Ignorance' searched for health with all his wealth and riches until the end of his time.

Good health goes beyond our general physical well being, it also involves our spirit, soul and mental well being. Our state of health affects every aspect of our life, if your health is sound it is easy to feel good, relate well with other people, have amazing days and peaceful night.
